    • 273. Randy Lau: Growing @madewithlau YouTube channel to over 10K in 3 months?! Chat with Creators Randy Lau

      Randy Lau, creator and filmmaker behind @madewithlau on YouTube (youtube.com/c/madewithlau), sits down with me virtually to talk about the tremendous growth he's had on YouTube.

      Lau's family story: As a child of Chinese immigrants, I’ve always been inspired by my parents’ decision to uproot their lives to start a new life in the U.S. My dad, a former restaurant owner and chef of 50 years, has always expressed his love through his incredible food. As a passionate filmmaker and storyteller, I‘ve always wanted to learn and tell my parents’ story. And thus, Made With Lau was born.

      On September 1st, 2020, I started sharing my dad’s Chinese recipes and our family’s stories on our blog and YouTube channel for the world to enjoy. My aim is for Made With Lau to be a living repository of recipes, stories, life-lessons, and the Chinese culture that shapes us.
